The Nutrition Research Group at the University of Murcia (UM) found that the early development of Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis) larvae is affected by temperature and lighting conditions.
According to a study by scientists at the UM, which was published in the journal Aquaculture, natural temperature and blue wavelength light cycles are ideal conditions for farming this fish.
In addition, Senegalese sole yields substantially improve in comparison to other photo-thermal regimes.
In the natural environment, the daily temperature and light cycles are the main synchronization factors for fish growth while under artificial farming conditions, environmental conditions are set by farmers to try to ensure the survival and growth of fish, the UM points out in a s...
